EVENT INFORMATION
The Singapore's Cybersecurity Act (2024 amendment) and the Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Masterplan 2024 are both essential initiatives aimed at enhancing cybersecurity in Singapore, each with distinct purposes and areas of focus.
Enacted in 2018, the Singapore's Cybersecurity Act initially focused on regulating critical information infrastructure (CII) and establishing a legal framework to oversee national cybersecurity. As cybersecurity risks and technology have evolved, the Cybersecurity (Amendment) Bill was passed on 7 May 2024 to address new and changing threats, strengthen defenses, and adapt to modern business and technology models, along with the increasing sophistication of malicious cyber actors.
In contrast, the OT Cybersecurity Masterplan is a strategic guide developed to bolster Singapore's cybersecurity posture specifically for Operational Technology (OT) systems—such as those used to manage physical processes in sectors like energy, water, manufacturing, and transportation.
In summary, the Cybersecurity Act 2024 provides a regulatory framework for securing critical infrastructures, while the OT Cybersecurity Masterplan 2024 focuses on safeguarding OT systems through industry collaboration and capability building. Together, these initiatives are vital for protecting Singapore’s national security and economic resilience, targeting different aspects of cybersecurity—one through legal regulation and the other through strategic guidance.
Join us in this session to learn more about the latest updates on both initiatives!
